Make Your Own Water Globes

Here’s a great frugal hack for you: instead of buying those “water globes” to water your plants, use vases instead. Just fill a vase with water, insert it upside down in the soil of any container-grown plant, and it will release water as the plant needs it – just like the store-bought version, but tons cheaper.

This is a great way to reuse all of those vases that you end up with when people sends you flowers. And even if you have to buy a few, we’re talking $.25-$.50 at a thrift store or yard sale.
